‘Copycat’: Elon Musk reignites feud with Jeff Bezos

Musk tweeted under MIT Tech Report’s story about Project Kuiper, tagging Amazon CEO Jeff Bezos and writing “copy” followed by the cat emoji.

Musk’s privately owned space-exploration company, SpaceX, has been working on a similar project. SpaceX’s Starlink division got approval from the Federal Communications Commission in November to launch a planned 11,943 satellites, with the same goal of providing global high-speed internet. It launched two experimental Starlink satellites in February.
